FEARS OF FAMINE
NORWEGIANS ANXIOUS BLEAK WINTER OUTIOOK A WAVE OF SPECULATION (United Press Association) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright) LONDON. Nov. 6. (Received Nov. 7, at 11.30 p.m.) The Daily Telegraph's Helsinki correspondent says Norwegians are increasingly anxious about foodstuffs for the winter as the result of large shipments to Germany and the impossibility of importing supplies. Fears of a famine are creating a panic and a wave of speculation is sweeping Norway, particularly in butter, cheese, eggs and potatoes, forcing the Government to establish a monopoly of butter sales. Steps have been taken to confiscate food hoards and two prominent Stavanger residents have been arrested for hoarding -20,000 pairs of boots and shoes.
The Norwegian press in future will be " independent of outside interests." For example, the advertising must be'devoted to furthering the interest of the Germandominated Government.
